3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
May cause mild irritation with possible reversible corneal opacification. Slightly to
non-toxic orally, dermally, and by inhalation. See below for route-specific details.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
Inhalation: Slightly toxic by inhalation. Excessive exposure may
cause cough, mucous production, shortness of breath,
reflecting metal fume fever.
Eye Irritation: May cause mild irritation with possible reversible
corneal opacification.
Skin Irritation: Slight skin irritant. Repeated exposure may cause
allergic contact dermatitis.
Ingestion: Slightly toxic by oral exposure. This material may
produce toxicity if ingested in large quantities.
Symptoms of over-exposure may include nausea and

Griffin MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET

Spin Out庐 Date Prepared: December 13, 2002
vomiting, abdominal pain, and central nervous system
depression, which, if severe enough, may lead to
death.
Hazards Identification (continued):
Chronic: Low chronic toxicity unless excessive exposure is
encountered. Excessive exposure to copper by
inhalation may result in irritation of the upper
respiratory
tract which, if severe, may lead to perforation of the
nasal septum after long periods of exposure.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give
artificial respiration preferably mouth-to-mouth. Get
medical attention immediately.
Eye Contact: Hold eyelids open and flush with water, until no
evidence of chemical remains (at least 15 - 20
minutes). Get medical attention.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash with
plenty of soap and water until no evidence of chemical
remains (approximately 15 - 20 minutes). Get medical
attention.
Ingestion: Unless extensive vomiting has occurred, empty the
stomach by gastric lavage with water, milk, sodium
bicarbonate solution of a 0.1% solution of potassium
ferrocyanide. (Gosselin, Clinical Toxicology of
Commercial Products, 5th Ed.). Administration of
gastric lavage should be performed only by qualified
medical personnel. Probable mucosal damage may
contraindicate use of gastric lavage.
Emergency Medical
Treatment: Treat symptomatically. Acute oral overexposure to
copper hydroxide, a component of this product, may
cause hypotension, hemolysis, and, rarely,
methemoglobinemia. Severe intoxication is associated
with serum copper levels greater than 500 mcg/dl.
Copper hydroxide is an emetic, however, dilution with
fluids, adsorption with activated charcoal, or lavage
may be indicated. Chelation therapy with BAL or
D-penicillamine has proved useful in cases of acute
overexposure.

apparatus.
Hazardous Combustion
Products: Dried solids can burn giving off oxides of carbon.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Land Spill: Cover spill with absorbent material such as a sweeping
compound or clay. Sweep up and place in suitable
(fiberboard) containers for later disposal.
Water Spill: If feasible, copper may be precipitated/ultrafiltrated with
caustics or other chemicals and resulting sludge
disposed of in a chemical landfill.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ACUTE:
Inhalation: Acute inhalation LC50 >2.94 mg/L (rat - 4 hour mist).
May cause irritation of the mucous membranes.
Exposure to copper fumes may result in metallic taste,
nausea, vomiting, and metal fume fever with chills,
fever, aching muscles, dry throat and headache.
Eye Irritation: Considered to be a mild irritant to the eyes of a rabbit.
Skin Irritation: May cause irritation. Primary dermal irritation tests in
rabbits indicate slight irritation potential for this product.
Many copper salts cause itching, eczema and, rarely,
sensitization reactions in previously exposed persons.

Skin Absorption: Acute dermal LD50 > 2,000 mg/kg. This product is
slightly toxic by dermal exposure.
Ingestion: Oral LD50 >5,000 mg/kg. Ingestion of large doses of
copper salts may result progressively in irritation of the
gastrointestinal tract, nausea, vomiting, salivation,
gastric pain, hemorrhagic gastritis, diarrhea, capillary
damage, liver and kidney damage, and central nervous
Toxicological Information (continued):
system stimulation followed by depression. Jaundice,
pain in the liver, and hemolytic anemia have been
reported following acute human poisonings.
CHRONIC: Repeated ingestion of copper salts may result in
anemia, liver, and kidney damage. Chronic inhalation
exposure may cause a metallic taste in the mouth,
irritation of the upper respiratory tract such as the nasal
mucosa that may progress to perforation of the nasal
septum. Chronic cough may also occur.
Copper hydroxide, which comprises 7.1% of this
product, governs the toxicity of the product. The
remaining components have low to negligible toxicity.
Special Health Effects: Copper-intolerant individuals should not be exposed to
this material. No additional information is available on
whether overexposure to this material would aggravate
other existing special medical conditions.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Chemical Fate: The degree of mobility of copper in the environment
depends upon the pH of ambient soils and waters. The
higher the acidity, the more soluble copper salts are
and, hence, the more mobile. Partitioning of copper
into air is negligible due to the low vapor pressure of
copper salts.
